Dissociation kinetics of small-molecule inhibitors in Escherichia coli is coupled to physiological state of cells

This study investigates how binding/unbinding kinetics of a benzimidazole-derivative DNA inhibitor in E. coli cells depends on cell growth and physiology and demonstrates the effect of this coupling on drug efficacy.
